In this chilling episode of The Crowe Files, host E.J. Crowe unravels the harrowing story of Heaven’s Gate — one of the most infamous cults in American history. Led by the charismatic yet deeply disturbed Marshall Applewhite, Heaven’s Gate lured dozens into a fatal mass suicide with the promise of transcendence aboard an alien spacecraft trailing the Hale-Bopp comet.
We’ll examine the twisted beliefs, the manipulative tactics, and the tragic end of 39 devoted followers who believed they were leaving Earth for a higher existence. Through survivor accounts, police reports, and haunting recordings left behind by Applewhite himself, this episode explores how an apocalyptic prophecy spiraled into a deadly delusion.
Press play and step inside the dark world of cult control, mass hysteria, and blind faith — if you dare.
